Single-phase to Three-phase Multilevel Matrix Converter (1× 3 M^2C) for Induction Motor Drive

摘要

Single-phase to Three-phase Multilevel Matrix Converter ($1imes 3 mathrm{M}^{2}mathrm{C}$) is presented in this paper. This converter connects a single-phase supply to a three-phase load directly with absence of any energy storage device (battery) or any heavy dc-link capacitor. The whole system promises the characteristics of the conventional matrix converter like balance operation and unity power factor (UPF). For analysis purpose a three-phase induction motor is modeled in simulation environment supplied by $1imes 3 mathrm{M}^{2}mathrm{C}$$1imes 3 mathrm{M}^{2}mathrm{C}$$1imes 3 mathrm{M}^{2}mathrm{C}$$1imes 3 mathrm{M}^{2}mathrm{C}$
